RENEGADE(ISBN=9780307463135) 英文原版 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

Before the White House and Air Force One, before the TV ads

and the enormous rallies, there was the real Barack Obama: a man

wrestling with the momentous decision to run for the presidency,

feeling torn about leaving behind a young family, and figuring out

how to win the biggest prize in politics.

This book is the previously untold and epic story of how a

political newcomer with no money and an alien name grew into the

world’s most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate

portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the Secret

Service code name Renegade.

Drawing on a dozen unplugged interviews with the candidate and

president, as well as twenty-one months covering his campaign as it

traveled from coast to coast, Richard Wolffe answers the simple yet

enduring question about Barack Obama: Who is he?

Based on Wolffe’s unprecedented access to Obama, Renegade

reveals the making of a president, both on the campaign trail and

before he ran for high office. It explains how the politician who

emerged in an extraordinary election learned the personal and

political skills to succeed during his youth and early career. With

cool self-discipline, calculated risk taking, and simple

storytelling, Obama developed the strategies he would need to

survive the onslaught of the Clintons and John McCain, and build a

multimillion-dollar machine to win a historic contest.

In Renegade, Richard Wolffe shares with us his front-row

seat at Obama’s announcement to run for president on a frigid day

in Springfield, and his victory speech on a warm night in Chicago.

We fly on the candidate’s plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey

across a country in crisis; stand next to him at a bar on the night

he secures the nomination; and are backstage as he delivers his

convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed national

audience. From a teacher’s office in Iowa to the Oval Office in

Washington, we see and hear Barack Obama with an immediacy and

honesty never witnessed before.

Renegade provides not only an account of Obama’s triumphs,

but also examines his many personal and political trials. We see

Obama wrestling with race and politics, as well as his former

pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We see him struggling with life as

a presidential candidate, a campaign that falters for most of its

first year, and his reaction to a surprise defeat in the New

Hampshire primary. And we see him relying on his personal

experience, as well as meticulous polling, to pass the presidential

test in foreign and economic affairs.

Renegade is an essential guide to understanding President

Barack Obama and his trusted inner circle of aides and friends. It

is also a riveting and enlightening first draft of history and

political psychology.

编辑推荐

“The first of the President Obama books–and a good

one–insightful, thorough, and straight.”

—Ben Bradlee, Washington Post

“If you really want to know what happened inside the Obama

campaign, this is the one book that will take you there. My jaw

dropped time and time again reading details that, despite the

coverage, were never revealed in the long campaign. A clear-eyed,

up-close look at the campaign, Renegade is the one Obama

book that should not be missed.”

—Michele Norris, All Things Considered

“A superb achievement. With an almost painterly eye, compelling

insights, and extraordinary access to Barack Obama and his inner

circle, Richard Wolffe’s Renegade tells the hidden, dramatic

story of the 2008 campaign and also reveals much we did not know

about the 44th president’s life before politics. Wolffe’s brisk,

well-written narrative is fully in the tradition of Theodore White

and Richard Ben Cramer, capturing a pivotal presidential contest

dominated by one of the most luminous figures in modern American

history.”

—Michael Beschloss, author of Presidential Courage

“Many journalists covered the 2008 presidential campaign for

newsrooms and blogvilles. Not the intrepid Richard Wolffe. With

gumshoe persistence he tracked Barack Obama’s historic march to

victory with grace and cunning. Renegade offers a deft mix of

biography, personal reflection, British wit, and old-style

journalism. Destined to be a classic in its genre.”

—Douglas Brinkley, professor of history, Rice University

“Politics is a lot like basketball–complete with drives up the

middle, clutch rebounding, and smart head fakes. In Renegade,

Richard Wolffe takes us inside the game through unparalleled access

to candidate-turned-president Obama and through his own canny eye

and wit. I learned something new on practically every page.”

—Gwen Ifill, Washington Week in Review and The NewsHour with Jim

Lehrer

“This is an insightful, unusually moving, fully observed portrait

of the improbable candidate and complicated man who would be

president, a riveting backstage drama set just at the moment

America’s third act prepared to debut. If Jefferson started the

exalted but flawed exercise and Lincoln enlarged it, then with

Richard Wolffe’s wonderful book–graced as it is with a journalist’s

eye and a historian’s breadth and command–we are granted the gift

of access to the second skinny lawyer from Illinois who would save

our country. Marvelous.”

—Ken Burns, award-winning filmmaker

  前面写自己出生前的部分和接近结束时写早夭的贝纳尔的短短片段最好看，贝纳尔那段就是我现在最想要看的抚慰心灵的东西。儿童时期渴望承受不幸、痛苦以成就伟大这一点很共鸣，所以也是童年应对得最好。（萨特和尼赞是好朋友

  这本书并不需要修辞学。 莱希关注的是决策成形的过程，而不是满足普通读者的窥探欲望。

  班宇《夜莺湖》虽不太懂但印象深刻。刘庆邦《睡觉》颇有汪曾祺《受戒》的感觉。比较喜欢《鼠辈》、《大樟树下烹鲤鱼》、《仙境》、《后弄》。尤其是《后弄》，稳健、质朴、巧妙，作者薛舒功力非凡。

  正史一百页就能讲完的事，硬是给写了一百多万字，跟明代的官员数量一样冗长！我不喜欢这种历史小说，为了凸显张居正太刻意写他的廉洁，与史不符

  其实翻来覆去就那么几个观点，更像是一个过来人对你的忠告，一两百字就能搞定，车轱辘话来回说。文章的排版和逻辑性不是很好，有些话前后矛盾，没能自圆其说。不过仍然值得一看，买就算了。

• “鲜活”的党史

  作者：Lee 发布时间：2021-02-25 14:31:21

  误以为青少版就是删简版，当得知主要是删减了大量照片（当然也很珍贵）后，又从地下室翻出。教育部把它作为青少年指定书目，太好了。这本身就是一部关于青春的书，“据杨尚昆说，普通士兵的平均年龄是十九”，“这一队少年带的步枪几乎有他们身子一般高”，“我不知道，他（土匪）被这些年轻得可以做他儿子的战士带着，是不是感到难为情”，更是一部关于纯真理想的书，但这绝不仅是一本青少年的书。

  让一个”外人“讲”严肃”的党史，无论在当时，还是当下，都是那么有意义。历史书写，总是随着时间推移，不断“认清”、“修正”、“总结”，但也必将失去它原本的”鲜活“，还好，这本书就是1936年来自”苏区“第一手的鲜活。书中关于毛泽东、朱德、贺龙、林彪、李德、张学良、杨虎城……以及许多历史事件有别于“正史”的“私史”，让人兴趣大增，也恰恰这样，更让人从人性上理解与共情。但这也绝不是无端的“野史”，就譬如毛泽东总是在访谈后对内容反复修改核对，作为当时中国苏维埃最高领袖，这是极端负责的，就像对其他所有事情的运筹帷幄，他早就敏锐意识到斯诺这次访问绝不是一次私人访谈，早已从革命事业的高度赋予它极端重要意义，事实也证明如此，“本书出版后立刻瓦解了当时外界种种歪曲、丑化共产党的谣言”，“激励了一大批有志青年投入到如火如荼的红色革命中”。

  历史选择共产党绝不是偶然，因为他们当时紧紧站在了“人民”一边，历史也将永远如此。

• 今天晚上会做什么样的梦呢？

  作者：书蠹鱼 发布时间：2022-06-11 10:26:50

  看完这本书一定要先哈为敬！

  哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！

  吉竹伸介真的是蛮有趣的一个人呐！

  “我的孩子早上醒来头发特别乱，而且乱得很有趣，所以我每天一边想着今天大家的头发会变成什么样呢，一边充满期待的起床……”

  

  果然能做儿童绘本作者的人，一定都是善于在生活中发现乐趣的。就好像作者每天早上面对孩子乱糟糟的头发，他没有不耐烦，也没有抱怨，而是觉得很有趣，并且还会充满期待。

  这真的是大部分家长都很难做到的吧，毕竟早上起来时间有限，匆匆忙忙要给小朋友穿衣洗漱，还要准备早饭，如果再看到小朋友们惨不忍睹的发型，心态崩了完全不会奇怪啊。

  但是有些人就是可以在无数的细节中发现生活的乐趣，在纪录片《但是还有书籍》里，有一期《绘本里都奇妙世界》是专门讲儿童绘本的绘者们的，我发现他们真的都很可爱，即使是出生于1946年的蔡皋奶奶，接受采访时她的神态依旧如同孩子一样生动烂漫。

  真好啊！所以也正是这样的一群人们， 才有能力发挥他们的奇思妙想，带着他们的天真童趣，把一个个生动有趣的故事画在纸上带给孩子们吧！

  

  所以，在吉竹伸介的笔下，小主人公在睡着之后可能是被外星小人抓走了，但外星小人们形象可爱、憨态可掬，甚至还有点蠢萌蠢萌的。

  他们齐聚在一个大礼堂中，只为了听小主人公的打呼噜声，还安排了一个超级大屏幕，之后他们还坐姿乖巧的与睡得正香的小主人公合影，场面一度非常搞笑。

  但这就完了吗？并没有。

  小主人公在经历了一个类似超长螺旋滑梯（传送带）的东西传送之后，又被送回了她原本睡觉的小床上，那些外星小人们又能有什么坏心眼呢？

  他们在小主人公差点被惊醒的时候简直惊慌失措！用尽洪荒之力才把小主人公哄好！场面再度非常搞笑！

  

  有“坏心眼”的从来大概是托尼老师吧！托尼老师顶着放荡不羁与众不同的发型华丽丽地登场了！！！并且与他同样放浪形骸顶着鸡腿头的助理认真严谨的为小主人公做了发型！

  嗯！也就是地图头！！！

  他们还很有“恶意”的搬来一堆好吃的让小主人公流出口水！

  身为一个无趣的成年人，我真的很久没有做过这么有趣的梦，或许从来没有做过。

  我的梦大多是噩梦，小时候有与我面对面僵持不下的老虎、有在我身后猛追的骷髅骨架，长大之后就更离谱了，现实文学看得多了，做梦也会被影响，梦到过人体实验的实验体、也梦到过核电站泄漏事件后被辐射的人的惨状。

  

  大概跟我的童年经历有关吧，因为我小时候从来没有读过绘本，一本都没有。我从小就渴望与喜爱阅读，但家里可以让我读的书并不多，所以除了学校里发的书，我看的最多的就是大人们的书，哪怕大多数当时都看不懂。

  所以我从小就是一个没什么童趣的人，如今看到这本书真的很羡慕现在的小朋友。

  一个没有什么童趣的人的童年一定是不够快乐与完满的，哪怕成年了，回想起来更多的也是遗憾，起码我是这样。

  但在如今这个全民阅读以及非常重视儿童读物的时代，小朋友们都值得拥有这样的绘本，也值得拥有一个天真有趣且充满幻想的童年。
